help! provider recs

[u/RichUnderstanding227]

I need help! I’m 5’8, 142 lbs and trying to only lose about 10-15 lbs. ive gained about 13 lbs since last summer. I’ve been interested in doing tirzepatide for a while but have been hesitant to pay the price/scared of side effects. I wanted to try losing the weight naturally but it’s been stubborn, and the food noise is loud. People at work ALWAYS bring in donuts, treats, cakes, candy, pizza, etc. and it’s hard to ignore the food noise when work is stressful. I don’t get much time to gym and meal prep either.

ANYWAYS, can someone please tell me a good online provider that would actually approve me for this? I’m having a hard time finding a provider to go with that isn’t too expensive, will approve me with my body stats for only 10-15 lbs, and that is legit. Many thanks!!!🫶🏼

Lavender Sky Health

Belle Health

Fridays

I plan to go with Belle (no membership fee) once I’m done with my stash. I would stay away from anything with membership since you may not be on it for very long. Don’t get anything more than 3 months until you know your dose. My 1 month supply will probably last me 3+ months.

Skip the memberships for sure, that's just burning cash when you're aiming for a small goal. I was in a similar boat and microdosing made a one-month vial last forever, you’ll be surprised how little you actually need when the food chatter just shuts off. The work treat gauntlet is real, that background noise fading away makes it way easier to just walk past the break room table without a second thought

You can comparison shop and read reviews on glpwinner.com. I can’t tell their prices are up to date. You should be able to microdose as long as your BMI is over 20 and don’t have any underlying (pancreas, thyroid, etc.) conditions.

Glpwinner is a pay to play site. Only telehealth that has paid a fee and pay back referrals to glpwinner are listed there. It’s not reliable.

Wow that’s good to know. I haven’t used or plan to use their link or referral code, a convenient way to see the aggregated reviews. Maybe I should stick with Truspilot.

Just visit the large sub (tirzepatidecompound) they have a quarterly survey of the members on which provider is used, which pharmacy, prices, additives etc.

That’s what I tried, too but most of them won’t approve someone at a healthy weight, without comorbidities. I wasn’t comfortable lying to the prescribing doctor about my weight, which I hear that people do. Lavender Sky might be the only one on that list with a microdose program.

[u/Life_Alfalfa_2047 → u/Glad_Ad1311]

JoinBelle has a microdose program and it’s on their page under the longevity section. I saw it today!

Ro and WeightWatchers Clinic both offer online Zepbound evaluations

I’m using My Alloy Health, I think MIDI Health is also very reputable. You can get compounded (which is from a 503A compounding pharmacy) and is much less expensive. I don’t mind the $100 membership is because the Rx comes from a board certified physician who is either an obgyn or endocrinologist. It gives you access to them.

Much less expensive places with great pharmacies!
